Malachi 3:13-4:6 Why bother being a Christian? What’s in it for us? How do we benefit?

God tells us why in this final section of Malachi.
Malachi 3:6-12 Theft is a big problem in society, and we hate it. We hate having our stuff stolen. But could it be that we ourselves are thieves? Are we actually robbing God, without being aware of it? The people were in Malachi’s day. Perhaps we are too.
Malachi 2:17-3:5 There’s so much evil in the world; so many who seem to get away with it – why doesn’t God do something? Where is the God of justice? Answer: he’s coming. But who can endure it when he does?
